Moss Rose is a multi-use stadium in Macclesfield, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Macclesfield Town F.C.. The stadium holds 6,355 and was built in 1891.
The ground consists of four stands. The Silk FM stand (traditionally known as the London Road stand) runs along one side of the pitch. It is usually given over entirely to home supporters, unless the travelling support is particularly large, in which case the right-hand side of this stand houses some away fans. There is terracing along the entire length of the pitch, with a small stand at the back of the terracing. The A-Line End (traditionally known as the Star Lane End) is to the left of the Silk FM stand, and is used by the home support. Opposite the Silkmen FM stand is the McAlpine stand, named after the architects that also designed the ground of Huddersfield Town F.C.. This is all-seated and covered, and houses home supporters, and a small number of travelling fans. At the opposite end to the A-Line End is the Silkmen End, which is an open terrace and is given to away fans. There are plans to introduce some seating at the back of the Silkmen End and build a leisure complex and hotel behind it, but currently the finances required to do this do not exist.
It should not be confused with the Moss Lane ground in nearby Altrincham, the home of the Silkmen's traditional rivals Altrincham F.C.
